I love how the powers of each of the Dubois daughters manifest differently. I loved the moment where Ariel, so insistant she wasn't like her mom, only to realise she was when she had the vision.

I was at a total loss trying to figure this one out. It's interesting though that you mention the twists to this ep, because I've been watching the earlier episodes on Lifetime late night, and I was thinking recently how much more tightly constructed the earlier ones were and how straightforward the later ones have become. And then, BAM, they throw this one in the mix and surprise me. Just when I was thinking that the writing might be starting to get a little stale, they pull off something like this. Guess this show really does still have legs. Let's just hope the ratings start to reflect it. The B-story with Bridgette was cute. I guess that's 12-year-old logic for you- as long as nobody gets hurt, there's nothing wrong with it, right? My favorite part of the story was the conflict between Allison and Ariel. It's always interesting to not only see how the girls handle their "gifts" but how Allison handles her stewardship of it for them, and teaching them how to live with it. In addition to the usual parent-child relationship struggles, they also have this added element of difficulty in the mix, and it's fascinating to see how she handles it.
